Installing a PCI adapter in a PCI riser-card assembly
To ensure that a ServeRAID-10i, ServeRAID-10is, or ServeRAID-10M adapter
works correctly in your server, make sure that the adapter firmware is at the latest
level.
Important: Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code
updates. If the device is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest
level of code is supported for the cluster solution before you update the
code.
Some high end video adapters are supported by your server. See
for more information.
Notes:
1. If you are installing a video adapter in your server, do not set the maximum
digital video resolution above 1600 x 1200 at 60 Hz for an LCD monitor. This is
the highest resolution supported for any video adapter in this server.
2. Any high-definition video-out connector or stereo connector on the video adapter
is not supported.
These instructions apply to PCI adapters such as video graphics adapters and
network adapters. To install a SAS controller, go to “Installing a SAS controller on
the SAS riser card” on page 204.
